Its been 2 weeks since I've started approaching targets. I can tell if the conversation sticks or not. If it doesn't stick I just leave. If it does stick how do I transition from A1 to A2. Also, if it doesn't stick... should I continue with what I'm doing which is just leaving or should I try and force the conversation?

Here's the basic dialog.

Me: Sweet Uggs.
HB: Thanks.
Me: So why'd you end up getting them?
HB: Because they're really comfortable.
Me: They had better be for what they look like. Do you think I could work them?
HB: Yes/No/Maybe.
Me: We'll why not?

By then I usually steer the conversation somewhere else, such as where they are from or major. I'm at a University by the way.

Am I right to steering the conversation with a question such as "where they are from?" or "what major they are?"

alright that is a boring opener. im not saying it to be a dick, if u read the stylelife challenge the best openers get her to start asking questions and get into it. anyone on the street can tell her they like her boots. think of something better that makes you seem interesting.

I'm 19. I'm in a fraternity, improv, swim, olympic lifting, blackjack/poker, play a little guitar, cliff jumping, ping pong.

here r some of my favorite openers:

1. I need a female opinion on a relation ship, my best friends girlfriend of about 6 months is debating breaking up with him because a girl he met in florida keeps messaging him constantly. he doesn't even like the girl and.... u get the picture.

2. Settle a quick debate for me, if u had to pick between a guy that was an athlete and one that wasn't, which would it be?

3. How are you? with a smile and confidence, then follow up with aren't u going to ask how i am?

its just a idea or maybe it could work. I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE ALSO boring or not its a opener. Complementing on whats she's wearing girls love that shit. Any opener can work if your really into your opener. Example relationship problem opener well i like this girl you see and she's depress right now haha when the hb give you her feed back you need to think of something to keep her talking and be into what ever she saying and then transition. wow thanks so your not from around here? hahha anything could work.

I know my opener is boring but two weeks prior to this I didn't think I could go up to any girl and talk to her let alone it be about uggs. But hey now I know I should try to spice the openers up. Out of curiosity what would you think about this opener?

"Hey so what would you do if I pissed on a midget?"

I don't know where to take it but I like it.

A1 is the opener. A2 is the conversation after the opener.

By the time you said “why'd you end up getting them?”, you were in A2.

It is not that your opener is boring. It doesn’t have to be not boring, the entire point is to initiate a conversation. What you say next is what is boring (or more specifically, does not lead to a conversation)

Instead of “So why'd you end up getting them” you could have said a story about something similar.

Me: Sweet Uggs.
HB: Thanks.
Me: Everytime I see them it reminds me of this blah, blah about blah blah. Have you ever blah.
HB: Blah blah


Use it as an opportunity to tell her a story. I do not know you or condone lying. I am sure you have experience in something that you could relate back to Uggs.

If it was me:

Me: Sweet Uggs.
HB: Thanks.
Me: Everytime I see those the remind me of California. People would wear them no matter what the weather is like. I lived in San Diego and it gets very hot there. I have even seen people wearing them in swimsuits. They look good but make your feet smell if it is warm. I bet your feet are all sweaty right now (show facials expression of stickiness)
HB: Blah, Blah


The opener is not important, it is what is said next that is.

See the problem there is your not giving her much to continue conversation and you're just asking questions. Be prepared for her reply or just make something up. Chances are that at the beginning you'll have to do most of the talking, once you've got her hooked she'll contribute more. See there's questions, statements, comments and stories. Also short silences can be a good thing depending on where you are, cus it gives you both time to think and for her to ask you things and make effort for your attention.
